Being technically defeated is not the same thing as being outrightly defeated.

They have been cut to size. They no longer have the ability to attack as they used to. Guerilla tactics is now their method and thanks to Intel availability, we now know what they want to do before they do it which makes the NIA prepared every time.

The FG has cut off most of their supply lines thus starving them of weapons and food. They are not the same BH of pre 2015. They are extremely weakened now
Uncle! Are you the NA spokesman If not say what you know please and stop misinforming the public...I stand to be corrected though...

I repeat the NIA suffered zero casualty. The Airforce did most of the fighting while the ground troops did mop up.

Mop up was not an intense battle. We lost nobody

From the small footage of the fire fight I saw that unit in Damaturu knew what they were doing , the put up a solid firewall to halt the Boko Haram offensive and damn they had tracer rounds to light up the battle field ...Solid unit , I was impressed .

I watched the video,the Nigerian Army actually put up a spirited defense of Damaturu,you can see tracer bullets flying everywhere.For the first time ever ,i m proud of the Nigerian Army ,this is a good christmas present for our country.Halleluyah

Oh lovely.... Almost all my guys in Kaduna state are now with the military posted to different part of the country, from time to time they do send me clips of heavy sporadic shootings with the bokoharam/Iswap, Mehn....!! Nigeria is a war zone without our knowledge

God will continue to strengthen our Military from strength to strength... I think it's high time the FSarz are been deployed to join combat the boko boys as well

I hope the casualties is more heavy on the terrorist?

Under the new sharia push, the captured terrorist will be tried in sharia court because the Quran state that muslims should have their lives governed totally by Quranic laws. God help the Nigerian army.

And under the sharia law, they will be beheaded without delay. No time for life imprisonment or those long useless sentences.

The Nigerian military's ground and aerial assaults have decimated the Boko Haram terrorists' splinter group, Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP), during the latest gun duel in Damaturu, Yobe State, North East Nigeria.

A Nigerian Army source disclosed this on Monday, saying that ISWAP lost about 30 fighters and two Commanders including Abu Muqhtar the overall commander who led the foiled attack.

According to the military sources, not only was the attack repelled by Nigerian troops successfully, the ISWAP recorded heavy casualties with two out of four commanders mentioned in their earlier intercept neutralised.


"May Allah help our gallant troops and their leadership to succeed in this fight against the insurgents," the source said.

The source further narrated the sequence of the events, saying: "On 22/12/2019, about 2046 hours, ISWAP Senior Commander ALI (aka Abu Huzaifa) who was located around Ben Kalio Estate, Damaturu, Yobe State informed high profile Commander Ahmodu located around Lake Chad fringes that they have tried all their possible best to penetrate the town but the troops resisted and pushed them back to the tranche.

"Abu Huzaifa also added that they have recorded heavy casualties and more injuries in this foiled attack. He also disclosed that they have lost a General Commander who coordinates many attacks around Lake Chad fringes named Abu Muqhtar and about 30 other fighters were also killed."


"Abu Huzaifa also stated that the reinforcement team from Gorgore Camp couldn't come because of some undisclosed reasons. He further revealed that the soldiers got information about the movement and prepared for them. He also maintained that the fighter jets also played some roles in pushing them back to the ditch."

The foregoing therefore, the source said, it is established that the ISWAP has lost a very Senior Commander in this foiled attack on Damaturu township.

"It is also observed that they have lost about 30 other Fighters and recorded many injuries and as well as many vehicles destroyed. Nigerian Army has made us proud today. The ISWAP lost about 30 fighters including Abu Muqhtar the overall commander who Led the attack," the source stressed.

Eze2000:


If I remember correctly the 'battlefield' here is part of a city, the capital of Yobe state which contains humans, homes and other infastructire. There is no way in God's name a jet can target those terrorists there without high losses to life and property much less the misfiring Nigeriam airforce.

My guess is the Airforce bombed outside the city and the Army fought them from within. Saying there are zero casualties in such a setup is pure nonsense.

Seems like you are eating Nigerian propaganda for food and we know the army has never agreed to losing a single batte or a soul to boko harem.

Enjoy your Meal!




Mr. Seun, I just got back from a 2 month ban by mynd44. My Crime? I called a young bloke terrorising my mentions with infuriating comments a busy body'' is all.

I made a reasonable contribution to a thread in Family and this guy pops up 3 days later to talk trash, mentioning mynd44 each time I appeared to lose my temper with him. Granted I may have overstepped my bounds is thar worthy of a 2 month Ban?

I was once a very popular writer in literature section but stopped due to rubbish bans. Bots will ban me for posting long stories then mods will ban me for replying nogood readers who just won't stop with insults.

The beauty of banning matured minds unjustly, those willing to offer ideas and help, is that we don't change to suit you like the kids on Front page. We quit entirely and move on.

Good day to you, sirs.
You're in your home giving useless analysis..

In fact it's democracy that's giving these BH boys joy. If someone tries anything like that in Saudi you can be sure that he'll be beheaded or crucified in broad daylight.

Many scholars have been jailed in Saudi just because they have terrorist tendencies in their speech. And once government give you warning but you refuse na prison be next. You won't even get to the level of forming a group let alone acquiring arms or public aid before you are imprisoned, indefinitely.
Forget that trash logic sir. They sharia itself is open to interpretations and how does one Muslim lord it over another when it comes to choosing "who judges who" in the sharia court. Religion isn't any of what we make how of it. Let sharia be removed even from states.
